In the construction used only natural materials. This project was completed in only 4 months - much less time than waiting for the completion of the construction of their apartments in modern high-rise buildings.
Simon Dale is not a builder or carpenter. He built this house together with his father and druzyami.Vid out the window.
At its creation has been spent only about $ 4900, 4 months and 1000 - 1500 hours.
